  • No, thanks. I will rather have the REAL PATRIOTS spy on me.

  • Of all the potential attack vectors RAM is one of the least likely because they use off the shelf controllers made by the same 2 or 3 companies, and if you add anything to it for spying its very easy to detect. Much easier to modify peripherals or use the backdoors the NSA mandates in all our CPUs anyways.

  • If you have an android device, check out Mihon and its forks on github (sideload only since its not on the app store), you have to add an extension repo like Keiyoushi which gives you access to scrape basically every manga piracy site/aggregator that exists.

    If one goes down or has slow updates which seems to be more and more frequent these days (fuck kakao), its very easy to migrate to another source.

  • This is already the case in China where the semi rural areas are filled with farmers who own their own patch of land that isn't super big but still big enough to produce surplus food for sale at local markets. Technically less efficient than the industrial farms but still very useful for people. I used to only buy fruits and vegetables from the street markets and the supermarket was reserved for specialty and imported goods you couldn't get locally.

  • Well the PAP do carry arms, but you won't see them at all outside of important places or high traffic touristy areas e.g. there are a handful of PAP around Tiananmen Square usually armed with Type-95s in very clearly marked armed police kiosks/vans. The article just feels like wishcasting though, like you're telling me the society where everyone has a smartphone didn't manage to get even one reliable recording/photo/anecdote about this out? Maybe they expect us to believe that Chinese internet censors are omnipotent?

  • Canadian military models response to hypothetical American invasion

    Jump

  • I don't think that's accurate, the PLAN had 8 Type 055s built in 4 years, and another 8 on the way in the same timespan. The USN in WW2 had over 100 cruisers built.

    If we're talking about potential though, Chinese shipbuilding capacity dwarfs the US, and in a hypothetical war scenario (that somehow doesn't turn nuclear) with full wartime production the gap widens more. However I expect that given their expense and the fact that they'll be priority targets that the PLAN will likely use their submarines and Type 054A/B and Type 052Ds to do the heavy lifting, since a loss of a frigate or destroyer isn't as crippling and they're much faster and cheaper to build. It'll be like that image where the US navy has a handful of decades old arleigh burkes and trump battleships vs the latest batch of PLAN destroyers, laid down 2 months ago, commissioned last week, with another 4 dozen on the way.

  • Too bad they still caved though :(

  • Mark Carney essentially said that the liberal rules based world order was a convenient lie everyone went along with because American hegemony opened up markets and sea lanes for them.

    Jump

  • I don't think the warming of relations with China (while big) is as huge as most are making it out to be, [Marx] Carney is a banker; he loves money first and foremost and is more or less just returning to what relations with China were before Trudeau Jr decided to burn all the bridges on behalf of the US (their assistance in the arrest of Meng Wanzhou was pretty representative of the overall buffoonery going on in the Canadian government at the time). Carney's a rare lib from an era prior to when libs started believing their own propaganda, and so he can do realpolitik to an extent. The biggest takeaway I think is that Carney knows how to hedge his bets and play major powers against each other for a better deal; if you manage to do it well it can be really beneficial, but as Ukraine showed, sometimes the USA will just coup you for trying to walk the tightrope instead of being fully subservient to them.

  • Once Canadians get that first hit of BYD goodness they will clamour for more. Only issue I can see is with so few being imported the dealers will do big markups and negate the value prop of Chinese EVs.
